Last Friday was Bring Your Dog to Work Day. I’m lucky that Pug gets to come to work with me almost every day. So, to celebrate we put him to work as a living model in our front window.

My first teeny tiny baby green bean. Isn’t it cute? You’ll see later in the week just how fast they grew!

PMS and baking don’t mix. I made myself sick eating so much raw dough by the time the cookies were done I didn’t even want any.

The welcoming committee at my mom’s house. Otherwise known as neighborhood watch. Though, they’re mostly looking out for bicyclists, squirrels and cats. And yes, those curtains have come down many a time.

Even on the hottest days Pug will plop down in the sunniest spot in the yard. I guess the sun feels good on the old bones.

A little nail polish haul from Sally’s and TJ Maxx. I can’t pass up a deeply discounted polish!

Sleepy little smoosh face.

Every day. This pathetic face.

Went to a local bar to watch the USA vs. Germany game. I am so not a soccer fan, but I didn’t want to miss the potential opportunity to chant USA! with a bunch of strangers. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance. Luckily a nearby table actually knew about soccer so we eavesdropped on them to figure out what was happening.

Just days later some of the green beans were ready to harvest!

Something has been eating my broccoli plants! Ugh. I suspect it could be our resident groundhog that lives across the street.

Shiner loves laying in the sun too. She’d rather lay there than in the shade. Something ate my brocoli plant when I had one too. Turned out to be caterpillars. Yours looks like a bug is eating it. Try checking underneath the leaves because caterpillars are sneaky like that.
